lol Really I guess you got lucky. I know if it is not formatted correctly you get nothing. It happened to me when I first bought the capture. So I then formatted it after I called Cuddeback but I can't remember. I am pretty sure it is FAT32 for the cuddebacks. My stealth always formatted itself.
I know I had to format mine after I put it in my Nikon Camera. It was something FAT, not sure on the 32 part tho.
